MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS SO HIGH FUCK
I can see any of the top 4 being the winner, they all deserved it, my favorite top 4 in such a long time :heart:
Interesting to see the parallels illustrated: Charles vs Diana post-divorce; Diana vs Camilla in the press; Diana vs Dodi and their fathers; Diana with the kids vs Charles (“I’ll just dump them with the nanny”, which is absolutely not accurate: the Emir of Qatar was coming to see the Queen, as Head of State, not Charles. So many liberties taken about the 50th birthday party: the press are not “invited” to these things, Charles did not make a speech, and Margaret was not there. And the scenes of Charles trying to manage Camilla’s “relaunch” in the public eye are ridiculous. Finally, why is the Queen again given such a dour portrayal? Overall, a decent episode, very well directed.
IMHO the first good and interesting episode in the season. And that final confrontation between Charles and Diana was just chef's kiss.
Another great entry in The Crown‘s fourth season. This episode jumps a few years ahead and deals with The Queen‘s relationship with her four children. Therefore we also get to see Prince Edward and Prince Andrew for the first time in the show I think. At least at an adult age. The episode also shows us the beginnings of the Falklands War, which was quite interesting. Olivia Colman and Gillian Anderson are as brilliant as always.
I'm mean I couldn't be more delighted with the Stevie Nicks feature
Mathew Goode is an excellent actor, I like him, but he's completely miscast in this, sadly
Well Mike, your childish bragging has cost you everything. The background music in this episode was perfect.
Yes, that's the Queen I want to see! At first I was afraid she gets overruled in her choice of the private secretary and yet again fails to stand her ground - but in the end, in a far more urgent matter, she had the guts to speak up and finally act like the ruler of Great Britain. I love that!
And the last dialogue between Elizabeth and Philip was hilarious.
Really wanted to enjoy this, found it very boring
I felt so many things watching this. It's stunning, it's twisted, it's weird, it's hot. One thing's for sure, it'll be on my mind for quite some time.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘The Little Mermaid’:
Halle Bailey IS Ariel. She was absolute perfection. From voice to vibe, she captured her essence impeccably. I believe a star has officially been born.
Melissa McCarthy had veryyy gargantuan tentacles to fill. And I think Pat Carroll would’ve been incredibly pleased with what she did with her sea witch.
I thought they built upon the original film’s story in all the right ways. Fleshing it out to make a little more sense. Providing more substance. While not everything was picture perfect, it worked and gave fresh magic to a beloved story.
Bonus Thought: I thought it was a fantastic movie to look at, especially under the sea. Gorgeous colors and visuals. Eye candy all around. And that includes Jonah Hauer-King. :pound_symbol:snack
I can't believe Jessica Wild did not win this challenge, I like Kandy but her runway wasn't the best tbh
lmao that dance sequence to AC/DC was everything haha :joy:
A movie meant to be fun and silly. It achieves the goal perfectly, an excellent option for when you just want to enjoy something without thinking.
Really great performances, but the movie is pretty messy. It genuinely felt like I was watching a movie trailer that was almost 3 hours long.
The movie isn’t completely useless but it is a disappointment. Not having the rights to Bowie’s music is obviously a problem but the main issue is that the film is quite boring. Flynn is okay as the lead but the script doesn’t let him bring the character of Bowie to life. A better movie about the singer will one day be made... I hope... so you can be forgiven for passing this one by.
Feel like the material is really too much for a movie, even it's a 2h40 movie. It would be much better suited for a 6 or 8 episodes limited series. Like American Crime Story: Assassination of Versace. But I guess you can't call it American Crime story since it's happened in Italy.
Even it's a long movie, you can feel many places are kinda rushed.
In general, I enjoyed it, the story itself is fascinating, and the cast is amazing. Gaga is on fire, with her many golden lines. My favorite one was when she consoled Paola and asked her staff to get her out of her place right away. :joy: Savage!!! But i'm also quite disappointed the movie didn't include Patrizia's most famous quote "It's better to cry in Rolls Royce than to be happy on a bicycle."
An interesting premise, that while weak in areas, is an overall enjoyable romp.
Season 1 had a bit of an issue with a lack of confidence in the vision and their ability to tell a story in a continuous fashion. It used Aaron Mahnkhe as the Narrator, who told bits of side history alongside the main story. In the second season, this was dropped, partly because of a stronger direction in the main story being told, but it did lose a bit of the charm, especially the additional context Mahnkhe was ale to provide.
The first season felt like an exploration of why we tell stories, and how there is a common motif linking otherwise disparate stories (they tickle the same fears), while the second season is just a straight retelling of spooky or creepy stories from the past.
The right balance between epic and moving. I appreciate that while the show didn't skimp on the expected third act fireworks, it didn't forget that this is ultimately a character story, and focused as much on what these events meant to Wanda and the processing of her grief, as they did on the MCU-shaking consequences. The the fights are exciting; the goodbyes are poignant, and WandaVision has rocketed up to being one of my favorite MCU stories ever, no small feat, but one well within the power of the Scarlet Witch.
OMFG! Its rare that I have a total full-blown unrepentant geekasm, but the last five seconds of this episode are the best five seconds of television since Buffy sang in a musical.
I knew he’d show up but not that version!
My nostalgia wants me to rate this movie higher but I couldn't honestly do it
Kid traveling from the future to meet her parents before she's born is such a classic fanfic trope. I'm into it. The scenes with Chloe, Lucifer and Rory were a lot of fun. Rory is definitely her father's daughter. But my favorite part of the episode was Rory running into Maze, Eve and Amenadiel. That was pure comedic gold. I loved the trio's increasingly panicked speculation about the future and the reveal that Rory was messing with them all along. Time travel being Rory's angel power is a plausible enough explanation for her presence.
Chloe and Lucifer smashing the shit out of each other (and not in the way you think) was definitely... interesting. Did not see that coming, even though I noticed Chloe's growing obsession with her super strength. Chloe's breakdown afterwards was beautifully acted by Lauren.
Chloe and Dan's conversation brought a tear or two to my eyes. Absolutely lovely.
Ella knows! Or at least suspects. Fucking hell, this took forever. It's so cool that she's figuring it out all on her own like the smart cookie that she is. Should've happened a couple seasons ago though.
Finally a witches/vampire/supernatural show that aren't loaded with teenagers...not like anything is wrong with teenagers in a show but the maturity is welcomed
So far, so good...I can't wait to see how it develops!
Was this a nod to John Carpenter's "Cigarette Burns?" Nice addition of Adrienne Barbeau (The Thing, The Fog, his wife... lol) as well. Hats off AHS for knowing their horror tropes and history. I felt like the beginning and end were good. Probably too much exposition in Act III and the principal actors need to work on their craft imho. In the three episodes so far they've not been able to hold a candle to the actors in the original series which is disappointing. Loved the editing room scene.
So far lots of nostalgia in these first three episodes. I'm liking this series for this reason.
I liked this more than the previous ones. Small stories. That's what I want this spin off to be.
Loved the references to horror movies (the line about Kubrick made me laugh)
Really entertaining series with lots of great characters. Kaleb definitely needs his own show. That guy's a comedy genius
